Halloween 2011

My little witch and monster. I think they are just so adorable. I did make most of Pipers costume which I am proud to say.


Look at that cutie.
Greysen trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.
First Piper and I took Greysen trick-or-treating until Piper was too cold. Then Daddy took Greysen. After lots of trick-or-treating Greysen said to MacKinlay, "Daddy my legs are really tired." Needless to say Greysen rode the rest of the way home on daddy's shoulders. Greysen loved answering the door for the trick-or-treaters. He would give them some candy and kept walking outside saying, "trick-or-treat" over and over again.
Halloween was very exciting for Greysen this year. He was so excited to be a monster. I finally decided to buy a monster costume because making one was a disaster. Luckily he wore it to Pre-school, Music school, Daddy's Halloween work party, the ward party, the Dinosaur museum and on Halloween night. I really feel like it was well worth it.

Family Pictures 2011

We took Family Pictures yesterday and it was such a challenge. Our happy little baby Piper was tired and crying and didn't want to smile. Then Greysen wasn't cooperating and I thought that we wouldn't get a single picture with everyone looking. Turns out my friend is genius and was able to get some where we were all looking at the camera. Poor Piper was just so sad. The picture below she had just fallen asleep in my arms so I just leaned her on my lap and hoped for the best. Luckily she opened her eyes and didn't cry.

Greysen's Cute Moments!

Greysen is really starting to get creative when he plays with his toys. The other day he had all his airplanes in his dump truck and he said he was taking them to the airport. He tells me daily that he is going to be a pilot. At first I kept asking him, "a pirate?" Finally I got that Pilot and Pirate sound an awful lot alike.
Today he was scolding his dump truck because he wasn't being nice to the little truck so his little truck went home (under a chair). The next thing I know his dump truck is saying sorry to the little truck and giving hugs. Then the dump truck took the little truck for a ride.
He does quiet time in his room everyday and I let him pick out some favorite toys to take to his room. He took the firetruck and dump truck and a few cars. Ten minutes later he is coming out of his room and wants some more cars. I get them for him and ask if he wants Mater and he says, "no he's still in a time out." He has become quite the disciplinarian.
He woke up Piper in the swing and he knew I wasn't happy with him and he said, "whats going to happen to me?"
His trucks and cars talk to each other and play together. He likes to say, "WHAT! You be kidding me!" to his toys or pretend conversations on the phone. Apparently I say, "Are you kidding me!" way too much and need to stop.
On Saturday we decorated for Halloween and he helped lots. Then he said, "I want peoples to come and see my decormerations." When daddy came home he took him around the house to show him all the decorations he put up. He picked out a small pumpkin on his field trip last week and carries it around and shows everyone.
He is really excited about Halloween and was asking all day "when we going to go see Halloween?" He wants to go trick or treating like they did on Little Einsteins and he was supposed to be spider-man. We had a costume that we could borrow and now he is adamant about being a monster so I am making a monster costume as of late. I have explained 3 more weeks and it seems to be helping.
I get really impatient with all his talking and snap at him so I put myself in a time out. He asks, Why you in a time out?" I say because I was not being happy and nice. 30 seconds later he says, "mommy you all done with time out?" "No Greysen not yet." 30 more seconds, "you all done mommy, you be happy now?"
This kid is quite the energetic bunny and it's hard to keep up with him. I sure love him even when he drives me bonkers.

American Fork Canyon-Oct

We went up to American Fork Canyon with the Boyles this fall and did a cook out. The weather was gorgeous and just as we left it started to rain and there was an amazing rainbow.
